She accepts the mistakes she made and is working to atone. I will say, I didn’t love Hadley in the previous series, but I’m coming around. I don’t want to spoil things, so I won’t go into detail about her actions there. We first met Hadley in the previous series, The Beginners Guide to Necromancy. But between Midas and the watch-dog he put on her, Hadley has a hard time keeping all her secrets safe.īent, not broken. Hadley is determined to keep Midas in the dark, and embrace this new chance at life she’s been given. The case puts her in the path of Midas Kinase, someone connected to her old life – though he doesn’t realize it. Her mentor, Linus, is staying with his fiancé in Savannah, so Hadley is working her first case alone. She’s hoping to earn her place as the new Potentate of Atlanta. Hadley Whitaker has been given a second chance at life. But that rope starts to feel more like a noose as they come closer to discovering not only the rogue’s identity, but each other’s darkest secrets. When a bloodthirsty rogue begins hunting the city’s paranormals, Hadley ropes Midas into letting her work the case. Even if it means playing nice with Midas Kinase, a shifter whose mysterious past might just be grimmer than her own. Goddess willing, she’s going to be the next Potentate of Atlanta. Some days it’s hard for her to tell fact from fiction, but only one truth matters. Or maybe she’s just getting better at them.

Hadley Whitaker is a liar, a killer, and a chocoholic, but she’s getting better about the first two.
